The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 203 The Conflict Between the Script and the Original Work
In the past two days, the entire crew began to try on costumes to confirm the makeup and prepare for the shooting.

Zhang Jizhong and Zhou Xiaowen are staring at this matter.

Chen Shuo originally thought that he would go to Zhou Xiaowen and others to discuss the inconsistency of Duan Yu's personality after he had thoroughly read the script.

But after thinking about it, it would be better to ask about the situation in advance, to save it from the filming of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang". My own understanding is different from that of the director and screenwriter.

"Then let's go there first." Liu Xiaoli nodded, and led Liu Yifei and Shu Chang to the make-up group.

And Chen Shuo went back to his room to get his script and notes, and was going to the makeup team to find Zhou Xiaowen and others.

As soon as he got into the elevator, he saw the assistant director Jiang Tong who was in charge of reading the script and hurriedly said hello: "Hi Director Jiang."

"Hello, Chen Shuo." Seeing that he was holding the script in his hand, Jiang Tong asked, "How is your reading of the script? Most of the first few episodes are your roles, so you can read it first.

If you are familiar with it, you can come to me, let's hurry up and get familiar with it. "

He also knew that Chen Shuo only got the complete script the day before yesterday, so he didn't have too many demands on him.

Just thinking that if he watched the first few episodes, he could try to do a script reading.

After all, even though it is said to start in September, every day the production team delays is worth a day's money. Zhang Jizhong is also pressing hard, and wants to start the film as early as possible.

If Chen Shuo doesn't take the time to prepare, maybe Duan Yu's role will be improvised.

When Chen Shuo saw him asking this question, he suddenly remembered that he should have told him first that he had doubts about the script.

The director team of "Dragon" has a large number of directors. In addition to the main directors such as Zhou Xiaowen, Ju Jueliang, Yu Min, and Zhao Jian, there are also six or seven executive assistant directors and six or seven martial arts instructors.

The martial arts guidance is unified under the command of Zhao Jian, who is responsible for everyone's martial arts movement training every day.

And each executive deputy director, under Zhou Xiaowen's command, specially handles some specific affairs of the crew.

Among them, Jiang Tong was responsible for organizing everyone to read the script before starting the film.

"Director Jiang, I'm going to ask you about the script."

While talking, the elevator arrived, Jiang Tong said: "Then, let's talk while walking?"

"Okay." Chen Shuo followed him and said, "I read the script twice after I got it, and I'm a little confused about some of Duan Yu's scenes, so I want to ask the director for advice."

"You said."

"According to the description in the original book, when Duan Yu first appeared on the stage, he was visiting Wuliang Mountain with Ma Wude, an old Pu'er martial artist in southern Yunnan and a great tea merchant, and happened to meet Wuliang Sword School's own martial arts competition.

Because Zuo Zimu's apprentice defeated his opponent with a trick of flopping, Duan Yu couldn't help but sneered when he saw it was funny.

In our script, when Duan Yu appeared on the scene, he was traveling in the mountains and water. When he was drinking water by the stream, he found blood in the river. He followed the direction of the water flow to the Wuliang Mountain Wuliang Sword School, and encountered the Shennong Gang attacking the Wuliang Sword School.

I can understand the reason for such revisions. After all, the space is limited, and some irrelevant scenes can be deleted as soon as possible.

But I don't understand why Duan Yu rushes into the melee battlefield to stop the battle when he doesn't know martial arts himself? "

Chen Shuo paused, and then said: "Although he doesn't know martial arts and doesn't like to fight, he is not a pedantic person either.

According to my understanding, he will risk dissuading both parties from letting go of their dispute before the battle begins.

But when the battle started, he wouldn't be so self-righteous, relying on himself as a powerless scholar, he wanted to rush into the battlefield to stop a big battle. "

Speaking of Duan Yu, most people probably have the impression of the word dementia.

But in fact, he only looks stupid and dumb when facing Wang Yuyan.

For the rest of the time, not only is he not insane, but he is fearless in the face of danger, alert and decisive.

At the beginning of the novel, he has no fear when someone puts a sword on his chest, and he doesn't care when someone suddenly slaps him and his face is swollen.

Knowing that it was Duanchang powder, but when he knew he had to eat it, he still ate it without hesitation, and joked: It tastes sweet.

A person with such a mind and tolerance is not like a person who would recklessly go to the center of other people's struggles to persuade them to fight.

Comparing the original work with the script, it is not difficult to find that the way of appearance in the original work makes the character of Duan Yu fuller and more reasonable.

And this part of the plot in the script seems a bit too silly.

Although Chen Shuo said that he was confused and wanted to ask for advice, Jiang Tong still heard it. He felt that the script was unreasonable and problematic.

I couldn't help frowning secretly, although the stage of script reading is to find out the unreasonable parts in the script, and then discuss to improve it.

But generally speaking, the changes are all the lines, and rarely involve changes to the plot.

The creation of a play involves all aspects and departments, and it is not just the script that needs to be changed if the play is to be changed.

If you want to change the plot, it will involve modifying the design and shooting plan, which will even affect the duration of the finished film.

Of course, it is not impossible to change, after all, the script is not static before filming starts.

Even when filming starts, if the director or screenwriter has any new ideas, or fails to meet the scheduled shooting requirements, they will change the scene on the spot.

Moreover, Chen Shuo was invited by Zhang Jizhong, Zhou Xiaowen and others to replace Lin Zhiying, and he was highly recognized by Mr. Jin Yong, so it is not impossible to change the script.

It's just that he didn't like to make an opinion on this matter, so he could only say: "I really can't answer your question for a while.

How about this, I happen to have something to ask Director Zhou, you follow me to ask.

Or just ask him to help you from the screenwriting team, how about finding someone to give you some advice? "

Chen Shuo didn't make it clear that he wanted to change the play, so he naturally wouldn't point it out. He just left the matter to Zhou Xiaowen and the screenwriter team, and let them solve it by themselves.

"Then trouble Director Jiang."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't bother." Jiang Tong said and led him to the makeup team.

When I arrived, I found that not only Zhou Xiaowen was there, but Zhang Jizhong, Ju Jueliang and others were also there.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang have already started to try on costumes, together with Jiang Xin and Liu Tao, they just decided to play Mu Wanqing some time ago, and it happened to be their turn to try on costumes today.

When Chen Shuo saw it, hey, except Ah Zi, his sisters are all here.

Zhang Jizhong and the others turned around when they heard the movement, and when they saw him, they waved and said, "Chen Shuo, you came just in time, these are all your sisters in the play.

Take a look, how do they look?
If it appeals to you, it must appeal to the audience. "

"The modeling and choreography of our crew were designed by Mr. Song. I don't need to look at it to know that it will definitely show the essence of the characters in the play." Chen Shuo came to Zhang Jizhong and said with a smile.

Song Hongrong, the art designer of the crew, won the Best Art Director Award at the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards, and is also a professor of Beijing Film Academy.

The "Dragon Babu" film and television city in Yongkang, Zhejiang Province and the "Dragon Babu" film and television city in Dali, Yunnan Province, which are currently under construction, were designed and presided over by him.
